Information policy
Our information policy goes well beyond legal requirements in establishing transparency in our communications and equal access to the facts for all investors and the public.
Swiss Re’s core business – managing global risk – makes us by necessity an information company. Our information policy therefore goes well beyond legal requirements in establishing transparency in our communications and equal access to the facts for all investors and the public.
The official medium for publications of the company is the Swiss Official Gazette of Commerce (Schweizerisches Handelsamtsblatt). In addition, we use our website to provide comprehensive, timely news and information on our activities as well as background discussion and analysis of issues relating to Swiss Re’s business and the broader insurance and reinsurance industries. Investors and other stakeholders can subscribe to receive ad hoc disclosures and other corporate news automatically at swissre.com/media. Our contact details are provided in Business contact details.
Our Investor Relations Team holds regular meetings with institutional investors and analysts. Private investors, too, can follow these meetings by telephone conference or through the Swiss Re website. In 2013, Swiss Re held a special Investors’ Day to discuss a Group strategy update, the Life & Health Reinsurance business and the Group’s capital management. The presentations and conference call recordings from this event are also available on our website: http://www.swissre.com/investors/presentations.
Swiss Re observes strict close periods around the publications of the Group’s quarterly and annual results. The close periods apply throughout the preparation of the results and provide for an appropriate cooling-off period after the release of the results. During such close periods, employees of Swiss Re and members of the Board of Directors and Group EC are prohibited from trading in Swiss Re securities.
